2 CONSTRUCTOR SPRING 2017

As you read or listen to daily news reports or just commute through the region, one thing is obvious — companies are in dire need of workers. The construction industry has been expecting a workforce shortage in our industry for some time. Now it seems every industry and business is seeking qualified employees. The race is on to attract young people to our workplaces! As an association, we must engage in this competition or be left behind. A lack of skilled workers can result in projects not being completed on time, turning down work, higher risk for workplace accidents, burnout of overworked employees, and the list goes on and on. We know the problem — now we need some solutions.

To remain competitive in attracting young talent, the AGC Board of Directors, as part of the association’s strategic plan initiative, will be adding a new part-time staff position this summer. This position will be focused entirely on workforce development. First and foremost,

they will be a direct liaison between our members and each of the regional high school technical schools. Much of the focus will be preparing, selecting and placing students into potential work co-op, internship or job shadowing opportunities. We believe introducing young people to jobsite experiences and a possible place of employment in the future is an important incentive to bring them into our industry. Our campaign slogan for this initiative will be Just One!

The Just One! slogan asks our members to open their doors to allow a co-op, intern or job shadow opportunity for one student. Member participation will be the key to making this initiative a success. This complements our ongoing workforce initiatives such as the Construction Career Day event, participation in regional school career days, jobsite visits and much more. Those willing to take a chance on an interested student get the first shot at “test driving” a potential future employee. Basically, it is a win-win for both parties.

A new light is shining on the value and importance of technical education. Local, state and national leaders are realizing the fact that not every young person plans to attend a university. Governor Bevin’s administration recently provided $100 million in grant money through the Work Ready Skills initiative to beef up technical center programs throughout the state. AGC partnered with these school systems to acquire grant funds. In the first round of awards, all the Purchase Area technical schools received varying amounts of money for facility improvements or upgrading tools and equipment. A total of $7 million will be distributed to six regional technical schools to support their programs. This is an important step in the right direction to improve technical education in the region. Much more will be required from the association. The Just One! Program will provide additional support to these ongoing improvements.

All of these efforts tie directly into the economic advancement of the region. An available skilled workforce is the number one criteria for existing businesses to expand their operations and for new businesses to locate in the area. Developing the workforce will be critical to our membership in order to meet the demands of a growing economy and the desires of owners looking to build or renovate. We ask that you consider taking Just One!

AGC of Western KentuckyBoard of Directors – 2017-18


In the summer of 1976, Gerald Ford was president, Apple Computer Company was just getting started, a gallon of gas cost 59 cents, and I went to work at AGC. Little did I know I was beginning a 40+ year journey.

I went to work under the leadership of Bill Kressenberg. My co-workers were Martha Riddle and Gary Jackson.

I’ve seen lots of changes since that summer day in July. I took shorthand, typed on a manual typewriter, used an offset press for printing, and mailed 500 hard copies of The Blueprint every week. The biggest change I have experienced was the introduction of computers and the internet.

A little about me – I am married to Randy Robertson, have one daughter, Dottie Owens (husband JJ), grandchildren/step-grandchildren (Bryce, Caleb, Elizabeth, Kelsey and Macey Owens). I LOVE UK Basketball! I LOVE to fish! But most of all, I LOVE Jesus! I play bass guitar for the Christian Band Steel Dove, and am a lifelong member of Highland Cumberland Presbyterian Church, where my husband Randy and I play guitars in their worship services.

I am very thankful for my position here, and look forward to continuing to serve the membership of AGC of Western Kentucky.

As a practicing CPA for over thirty years and a CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) since 2009, a fair amount of my time is spent in the area of fraud investigation and detection. One of the most unusual aspects of fraud is that owners and management are often of the opinion that their company will never be a victim. The 2016 Association of Certified Fraud Examiners Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse indicated it is estimated that a typical organization loses as much as 5% of revenues annually due to fraud, and that construction companies reported median losses from fraud were $259,000.

A significant portion of fraud cases have involved fraudulent disbursements which are the most common of occupational frauds. Employees and managers commit fraudulent disbursements using one of several methods: Billing Schemes, Expense Reimbursement Schemes, Check Tampering, and Payroll Schemes, with Billing Schemes being most prevalent. There are three primary types of Billing Schemes. The remainder of this article will summarize three of the most common types of Billing Schemes.

1) Unauthorized personal purchases made by employees with company funds

One common scheme involves the use of company credit cards. For instance, this could be as simple as using the company credit card to fill up one or multiple personal vehicles with gasoline at convenience stores, or using the company credit card for purchases of personal items at vendors where the company may routinely make legitimate purchases. What could companies do to minimize risk from personal use of company credit cards?

A) Use common sense in deciding if company credit cards are really necessary and if so, who really needs access to them and what controls over them need to be in place;

B) Require actual credit card receipts and do not simply pay from a credit card statement;

C) Require employees to actually sign out for use of a company credit card and sign back in when they bring the credit card back with the receipts,

then coordinate matching of company credit card receipts with credit card log and credit card statement;

D) Consider using a reasonable auto/fuel allowance or mileage reimbursement instead of allowing employees to use company credit cards for fuel.

Other personal purchases with company funds include ordering various types of items from legitimate vendors that could be used for business or personal purposes, having the company pay for these dual use items, and then employees using them for personal purposes.

2) False invoicing using shell companies In this scheme, what appears to be a legitimate

business is established and a company employee, vendor, subcontractor, or other individual causes this “shell company” to generate an invoice to your company which appears to be for legitimate materials, supplies or services, but in reality, the materials, supplies or services either did not exist or were not near the value that was paid for them. How could that happen at my company? Here are two common ways:

A) An employee with apparent authority to order materials, parts, supplies, etc. sets up a company (could even be a legally legitimate company) and starts ordering materials, parts, supplies, services, etc. from this company. If that employee is in a position to place orders (requisition), approve delivery, authorize payment, etc. for your company, payments for such items could be made from your company for unauthorized purchases of items that do not even exist or are nowhere near the value that your company paid for them.

B) Cases involving collusion (more than one perpetrator) and use of a shell company are not that uncommon with the dollar amounts of such cases more likely to be much higher and the detection of such schemes more difficult.

3) False invoicing of vendorsOne common scheme regarding false invoicing occurs

where an employee (ie. a clerk) may intentionally pay an invoice twice, then request the vendor simply return one of the checks to their attention for what appears to be an honest mistake. However, the clerk subsequently receives the check and either cashes it or deposits it by stamping the back of the check with a rubber stamp (easily created for < $10) indicating “credit to the account of the within payee, missing endorsement guaranteed” or some other offi cial looking stamp.

What are some best practices to reduce the risk of my company incurring losses due to one of these schemes?

1) Consider having an independent analysis of internal controls over accounts payable and vendor

processes;2) Maintain a proper segregation of duties so

that diff erent individuals order, approve, make payments, post transactions and are responsible for balancing bank accounts and accounts payable;

3) Obtain IRS form W-9 for all vendors before vendor payments can be made;

4) Document vendor legitimacy in the vendor permanent fi le for each new vendor;

5) Contact your insurance agent to be sure your company has adequate coverage for employee theft and dishonesty coverage.

AGC Self-Insurers’ Fund Workers’ Comp DIVIDENDS!

$7.3 Million Returned Th e Kentucky AGC/SIF released $7,280,670 in dividends and $457,226 in Special Fund taxes in March 2017. Th is

marks the 23rd consecutive year that the Kentucky AGC/SIF has returned premium dollars to its eligible members! Th e total dividends and taxes returned to Fund members since 1994 is over $161.6 MILLION DOLLARS!

What are the chances that your company will receive a dividend? Historically, 94-95% of eligible members have qualifi ed for a dividend check. As of October 31, 2016, 96% of members who were in the Fund in 2012, and who remain in the Fund, are eligible for a 2017 dividend check. Here’s how a company can qualify:

paid (2012);

which the dividend is being paid (2012);

its participating trade associations.Are you taking advantage of the Kentucky AGC/

SIF workers’ comp program? Why not check and see if you can save money on your premiums, and receive a dividend in a few years. Visit Kentucky AGC/SIF’s website, www.kyagcsif.com, where you can view FAQ’s, get an online quote, and much more.


Does the Kentucky AGC Self-Insurers’ Fund for Workers’ Comp Provide Out-of-State Coverage?

Since January 1, 1994, the Kentucky AGC/SIF has afforded Out-of-State Workers’ Compensation Coverage for its members without the 30-day limitation imposed in prior years, but with the continuing requirement that its members must use Regularly Employed Kentucky Employees, with no exceptions.

What is the definition of a Regularly Employed Kentucky Employee?

An employee who is a resident of Kentucky and/or employed by a resident Kentucky employer or is hired from a resident Kentucky union hall and performs work within the scope of said employment for said employer for a minimum period of eight (8) hours in the Commonwealth of Kentucky prior to performing any work in any other state, excluding Florida, Illinois, New Jersey and New York, with said period evidenced by payroll records from said employer. This statement shall not conflict with KRS 342.670(1) (a, b, c, or d).

What if I am or will be doing any work in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey and/or New York?

You must secure separate workers’ compensation policies from carriers that are admitted in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey or New York. As a result, the AGC/SIF cannot directly provide Florida, Illinois, New Jersey or New York workers’ compensation coverage for you under any circumstances, and you are not to report any payroll for any work performed in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey or New York. Please see our information about Other States/Cross Border Coverage below and/or contact your agent to secure alternative means of coverage if work is being performed in the states of Florida, Illinois, New Jersey or New York.

What if I am performing work in Florida, Illinois, New Jersey and/or New York AND/OR cannot take Regularly Employed Kentucky Employees?

Effective 1/1/2010 in response to ever-changing market conditions, the Kentucky AGC/SIF partnered with the Safety National Casualty Corporation (Safety National) to provide an OUT-OF-STATE (OOS)/CROSS-BORDERS PROGRAM solution for its membership population (NOTE: The Kentucky AGC/SIF will continue to provide OOS coverage for its members who use Regularly Employed Kentucky Employees in states where the Kentucky AGC/SIF is permitted to do so).

In order to obtain access to the program, the following general underwriting criteria must be met:

plan to join)

Borders program must be the same as those class codes contemplated by the member’s Fund policy

past three (3) years (exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis)

of total annualized payroll)

Should you have any questions regarding the OOS/Cross-Borders program, please contact the AGC Self-Insurers’ Fund Office Underwriting Department at (502) 245-2007 or (800) 928-7135.


ARE YOU PERFORMING REGULAR SAFETY INSPECTIONS?

By: Scott Thomas, Safety Director for AGC of Western Kentucky

Hazard recognition is one of the most

important parts of an effective safety and

health program. It’s hard to eliminate and

protect against hazards if you don’t really look for them.

Pre-job planning will help you prepare for the known

hazards, but we all know unanticipated changes can

be expected on most construction projects. We often

see changes to required tasks, personnel, weather,

timelines, and tools and material needed. Performing

regular safety inspections is one of the best ways

to help identify workplace concerns. Documented

inspections will hold us more accountable to fixing

any problems that are found. Safety inspections can

be used to not only note deficiencies, but also give an

inspector the opportunity to promote things that are

being done safely. I think it’s important to recognize

good practices with positive feedback as well.

How often you perform safety inspections may

depend on the nature of the work and size of the

project. Regardless of the work, site supervisors or

other leaders should at least look for safety concerns on

a regularly (generally daily) basis. Formal documented

inspections may be done weekly or monthly. The

person or persons doing the inspection should have

a good understanding of the OSHA standards along

with the work being performed. Larger projects may

benefit from a team of inspectors or at least more than

just one person. A greater range of knowledge and

concerns can be brought to attention any time you

put extra eyes on safety.

When performing site inspections, try not to be

too predictable. For example, if you always conduct

inspections at 9 a.m. on Monday mornings, it won’t

take long for workers to behave during those times

and relax when the inspection is over. Conducting on

different days and times allows you to see a broader

spectrum of the work activities. Some prefer to use

checklists, while others use a more general walk-

through. Checklists give some structure and guidance,

especially to those who may not be as comfortable

conducting a general walk-through. Checklists can

be very useful, but should be catered to cover the

specific safety areas on the site. If it’s filled with a

bunch of items that are not applicable, the inspector

may start feeling it to be a waste of time. Inspections

can then become just the same old “pencil whipping”

process. When the type of inspection is structured to

the liking of the inspector and the kind of work being

performed, it will be most beneficial.

Performing safety inspections will help keep

workers safe and companies in compliance. It’s

important to have a plan for corrective actions.

The greatest concerns are always those hazards

with potential to cause serious injuries or fatalities.

Determine the severity and likelihood an accident

could occur. The initial focus should be on targeting

areas that may result in a serious injury or have a higher

probability of happening. You can then refine your

inspections to the less serious concerns. Identifying

the hazard is usually the easier part. To ultimately

make safety inspections work, the company owner(s)

must consistently give adequate financial support

and manpower whenever items need to be addressed.

Performing regular in-house inspections will create a

safer jobsite and help you be better prepared should

you receive an OSHA inspection. As a member of the

AGC of Western Kentucky, the Safety Director (Scott

Thomas 270-744-6261) can give you guidance or

conduct site inspections if you wish to take advantage

of this great benefit.
